North Dalmatia
North Dalmatia in Croatia centers on the ancient port city of Zadar, with its Roman monuments and contemporary art galleries. From here, you can take a yacht charter down a beautiful stretch of the Adriatic coast and out to the surrounding islands.
North Dalmatia is home to several National Parks. For sailing, the leading destination is Kornati National Park, with its countless rocky islets and pristine sea. You can also sail up to Skradin to explore Krka National Park, with its dramatic waterfalls. On the other hand, if you like hiking and climbing, you should head for the canyons of Paklenica National Park.
